The Blast Furnace and Electric Arc Furnace methods are the two major techniques for producing iron and steel products. Scrap melting is the major process utilizing Electric Arc Furnaces. Recently, industry competition has become increasingly intense, elevating the need for a much more efficient melting process. Capacities of the transformers are getting larger and electric furnaces are growing larger worldwide. In this manufacturing environment, graphite materials that have durability for larger-power operation are needed much more for the use as Graphite Electrode (GE).
